You didn't read it properly, I'm talking about being THAT lean in the face, that everyone thinks I'm either dying of aids or a heroin junkie. I'm not talking normal lean here.
Apart from Christian Bale in the Machinist, I have yet to see a movie start with a face resembling what I'm talking about here.
Okay, I see your point. 50¢(in that photo) and Bale's Machinist's face look weak and depleted, like they're bodies are severely robbed of nutrients and calories. Movie stars and models are lean but healthy looking.
28" waist at 6'3" sounds like you may be below the 10-12% bodyfat you mention in your original post unless your fat is distributed differently than most. It sounds like you're already ripped in some areas but holding fat in others.
I know someone whose face is the last to lean up. Someone else was skinny but had what
appeared to be gyno, but they got just a little leaner and
totally lost the gyno look. It was like fat accumulated on their lower chest first and nowhere else on the body. The diversity of fat distribution on different individuals is something that should be detailed/researched in a book because it is vast and virtually unresearched compared to what's known/discussed about muscle length/shape etc...
Lonnie Lowery did an article on t-nation a while back on "spot reduction" and that he believed that there is a degree of truth to it:
http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/spot_reduction_is_real_heres_how_to_do_itI've read other articles that certain foods affect accumulation of fat on different parts of the body. All this stuff is at least worth looking into but it goes against conventional wisdom and controversial.
